Pinky Promise ·

2021/09/29

This week we welcome comedian Tanya Mansfield. We were supposed to talk about her experiences being the middle child, but quickly segued into talking about that one friend, we all had one -- they're older, they're reckless, the red flags are plentiful and waving but we couldn't seem to see them at the time. Tanya had a party friend, and we KNOW she's not alone. This story has everything a teenager could want: an RV, UV vodka, cheetah print bikini tops and more. Follow Tanya: IG:

#63 I Was Home During A Robbery with Ben Gorodetsky

Pinky Promise ·

2021/09/22

Even been home alone during a robbery? Comedian, writer and this week's guest Ben Gorodetsky has. As an 11 year old with temporarily unsupervised internet access, it should have been every boy's dream evening. But unfortunately for Ben things took a turn. From excellent stranger danger boundary setting (DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN A STRANGER KNOCKS!) to head smacking police blunders (GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE) to the wild tale of Ben and his family surviving a SECOND home invasion

#62 I Grew Up Evangelical with Dave Apkarian

Pinky Promise ·

2021/09/15

This week we're joined by comedian Dave Apkarian. Growing up in an Evangelical church, Dave took what he saw around him and used it to his advantage - like thinking if the spirit of the Lord entered him, a cute girl would TOTALLY be into him. Surprisingly it didn't work. Outside of church Dave and his brother stayed busy doing kid stuff like watching Terminator and helping their dad with laborious farm work including an insane story about a pig that you absolutely don't want to miss.

#61 Learning To Love My Body with Kristine Blinn

Pinky Promise ·

2021/09/08

***Content Warning: ED, body image, diet culture This week we sit down with comedian Kristine Blinn and get right into it. It's a whole episode on body talk. From a little kid in a bathing suit to the grown ass woman she is today, it's been decades of mixed messages, negative self talk, learning to unlearn it, and sending 1 million middle fingers to the diet industry. We loved getting to have such a candid talk with such a wonderful guest. Follow Kristine: IG: @kristineblinn Follow Pinky Promise:

#60 I Was In The Closet with Pete Angelo

Pinky Promise ·

2021/09/01

This week we welcome CT's strongest comedian / funniest strong man Pete Angelo. Growing up as a big guy in a small town, when Pete started to realize he had feelings for men, he wasn't exactly sure how to navigate that terrain, so for a while he held it in. We are so glad he was eventually able to express his true self and share with us his stories of how he did it. As with most coming of age stories in the early 2000's, we're sending a huge shout out to Myspace. Follow Pete: IG: @MetalPeteComedy

#59 I Was A Dork with Bridget Kavanagh

Pinky Promise ·

2021/07/21

We're joined by comedian Bridget Kavanagh this week who claims she was a dorky child, but upon further reflection we think she just had weird hobbies and a bad haircut. We learn Bridget had a personalized Mets bowling ball, a pretty historically accurate Harry Potter Halloween costume and for some reason she joined varsity golf in high school. Ok now that we read it all together, maybe she was dork after all. Follow Bridget: Twitter: @B_Kavs IG: @bridgetkavanagh // @oneofamillionpodcast

#58 I Was Pantsed At A Pool Party with Kayleigh Dumas

Pinky Promise ·

2021/07/14

This week we're joined by comedian Kayleigh Dumas for a tale no teen wants to tell: Kayleigh was pantsed at a pool party! It's your classic story of adolescent live triangles and passive aggression -- ok maybe aggressive aggression from the lenses of three adults who have clearly worked through the issues they had as young people and are doing much better now. Bullying disguised as friendship, undiagnosed ADHD, this episode really takes us back. Follow Kayleigh: IG: @kayleigh_dumas Twitter:

#57 I Was Homeschooled with Emily Landrum

Pinky Promise ·

2021/07/07

This week we welcome comedian and writer Emily Landrum! Emily is the oldest of 7 children and was home schooled in a Christian household. As you probably know by now Katie and Laura were...not, so they had a lot of questions! From nail polish envy to realizing she was sort of living in the Foot Loose town, we were thrilled to listen to Emily's stories of growing up not quite on the prairie, but like if the prairie had a snowboarding team!

#56 Most Spirited with Jay Whittaker

Pinky Promise ·

2021/06/30

For comedian Jay Whittaker, high school didn't suck. Moving from Los Angeles to Orange County could have been disastrous, but a pro move by Jay's dad helped ensure a smooth transition (Moving between school years? Enroll your kids in summer school!) A social butterfly who could hang just as easily with the jocks, band geeks and theater kids, it's no wonder Jay was voted Most Spirited....twice!

#55 Teacher Of All Trades with Orlando Baxter

Pinky Promise ·

2021/06/23

After college but before becoming a world traveling comedian, Orlando Baxter needed an escape from corporate America. The path he thought was going to lead him to being a guidance counselor actually made him a math teacher...and a television tech teacher...and a volleyball coach...and an in school suspension teacher. We loved getting to sit down with Orlando and hear all about the route he took to make a difference to the kids in his neighborhood, and ultimately what led him to keep pushing to find

We also talk a lot about our lives pre-covid and what we think - and hope they're going to look like in a post-covid world. We cover balance in friendship groups - for every wild idea

2021/05/12

This week we welcome comedian, actress and writer Ester Steinberg. As private schooled pre-teen, Ester ran with a tough crew: BG4L to be exact - if you know, you know. Let's face it, when your girl gang is made up of kids with rich parents and minimal supervision, things can get a little crazy. Like so many tales of teenage rebellion, Ester discovered if you fly too close to the sun, you're bound to get burned - or grounded for a year. Follow Ester: IG: @ester.steinberg Watch her special:

As Wynter shares her experience traveling the world performing with Up with People, Katie realizes she's interviewing one of her childhood idols as she remembers seeing a show as a kid. Wynter's experiences during her time with Up with People helped her find a way to create an adult life as a professional artist and performer. Normally you can find her performing live all over the place, but until those vaccines kick in it's a
